Happy workers are better workers

Summer holidays are the longest of all the other holidays. I like summer holidays because I have a lot of free time. Usually I spend June in thecountry where my grandparents live. I help them to work in the kitchen-garden. There are many apple-trees and cherry-trees in our garden. When it is summer we often have a lot of apples and cherries. There is a river not far from our house. Every day I swim, lie in the sun and play with my friendson the bank of the river. Sometimes we go fishing.In July I go to the camp. There is a big swimming-pool in the camp. We have happy time at the camp. Every day we play different games, swim in the swimming-pool and listen to the music. There is a forest not far from our camp and we often go there to pick up berries, such as raspberries, strawberries, red bilberries. In the afternoon we watch TV, read books and magazines. In the evening we dance and go for a walk.I spend August with my parents at the sea-side. We usually go to Sochi. There are many sights in that town. I like to swim in the Black Sea and spend a lot of time on the beach.Usually I return to Moscow in the middle of August. I meet my friends, and prepare for a new school year.I like summer and my summer holidays very much.

We use ―there is (are)‖ constructions talking about the existence or absence of people or things

in a definite place. These constructions have the meaning «есть, имеется, находится,

существует». The verb ―to be‖ in such constructions can be used in different tense forms: there

is/are, there was/were, there will be, there has/have been, there had been. The verb ―to be‖ in

such constructions can be used with modal verbs (can, may, must, ought to): There must be a

dictionary on the shelf. We can also use some other verbs after ―there‖ – to live, to exist, to

stand, to lie, etc.: There exist different opinions on the problem.

In ―there is (are)‖ constructions we observe the following word order:

―there is (are)‖+subject+adverbial modifier of time/place.

The corresponding Russian sentences begin with adverbial modifiers: There is a telephone in my

room. – В моей комнате есть (имеется) телефон. See the difference: The telephone is in my

room. – Телефон в моей комнате.

If the subjects are of different number the predicate agrees with the subject that stands first:

There is a table and six chairs in the room. There were some books and a dictionary on the desk.
